I actually did not have these books at my disposal as a child or teen and started to read them when I was 23 years old. I am now 30 and still read this delightful series at least once a year. They are wonderful books full of magic and subtle morals, that every person of every age can enjoy and be helped during dark times. -

So I will start out saying that I received this to review and I am a light blonde without graying hair, but I was sent a Dark Blonde Root Cover Up. My 3 star review does not reflect that I do not have grey roots and I was sent a darker color than my current hair.
PROS - I love the easy application! It is very basic with the, 'hold 10cm away and spray on roots' directions. - It covers your roots with a small amount so this 57g can will probably last you until you get the time to touch up your roots with a permanent or demi dye, even if you use this once a day. - It has a 'cooling' effect and made my scalp feel great. -Even if you do not have grey roots, you can make an awesome and easy ombre effect with this spray. Just buy a spray that's 1 level darker than your hair, and spray from the roots to midway down your hair to blend. Instant dark to light ombre! (As seen in my photo.) - It's overall pretty inventive. I wanted to buy this each time I saw it just because of the easy application, but I never succumbed to the urge because I don't have grey roots. That's saying something if I wanted to purchase it even if I didn't need it.
CONS - I don't feel like they have enough colors for blondes or reds; they have a Dark Blonde and a Light Blonde and one Red. I did receive the Dark Blonde and I do not have grey roots, but I tried this spray on my already ombre hair. I have dark brown roots growing in, almost platinum color after my roots, and my platinum blonde goes into light, then dark 'sandy' blonde. The L'Oreal Dark Blonde Root Cover Up made my hair way darker on all colors of my hair, except for my roots. The spray actually matched my dark brown roots, and made my hair dark brown, not blonde. I do not feel like this spray is Dark Blonde because it does not look like the color on the label or the color chart.
- This is pretty much a hairspray with a chalk type color in it that can rub off on you. When fixing my hair and putting it in a side braid, I did get product on my fingers that resembled brown chalk. I also took a tissue after wearing for 7 hours and still easily rubbed off product from my hair. I would not wear this in your hair to bed, because it will most likely rub off onto your pillow.
- The smell is quite pungent and not in a good way. It has a very odd 'burnt' smell to it. Thankfully, this does go away after about 10 minutes.
- I wore this for a 6 hour work day and by the end of my day my hair was a bit lighter, but still brown. It also had a matte quality to it by then and you could easily tell that I had a coloured spray on my hair.
All in all I would recommend this product to someone who was in a bad spot and needed a quick fix. I wouldn't use this for more than two weeks, only for when you all the sudden have grays coming in and need a quick fix before you make the real root touch up. I would also recommend this to people with black hair, brown hair, and dirty blond hair, not light blonde or red hair.

I have eczema on an on an off basis, but just one day of rubbing this on lighter rash areas, stops it from itching. When I use this for about 3 days my rash is gone. I will not say these are typical results because everyone is different, but it always works for me. Definitely worth the price for what it does. -

I admit, I go to this lotion because of it's intoxicating smell. I have skin sensitivities and can barely use any scented lotions, but Jergens Hydrating Coconut Lotion doesn't irritate my skin and makes my eyes roll back because of the heavenly smell. I use this the most on my legs after shaving and it doesn't leave a greasy residue, it just leaves me with soft, smooth legs. -

I'll admit that I originally bought these headphones as a fashion statement piece, I normally stick tried and true to another brand. But after using these and feeling how comfortable they are in my ear and noticing the impeccable noise cancellation, I will buy these again for those reasons, along with style. They fit perfectly in my ear and I don't have to turn up the volume as high as I normally do. I can also lay down and wear these, even laying comfortably on my side with my ear on my pillow. Definite must have. -

I love the convenience of this lotion, and the texture, and the smell, BUT... it gets a 3 because of what it leaves behind on whatever surface you're standing on. I love the convenience of spray on lotion that I can quickly rub in. St. Ives Lotion sprays including Soothing Oatmeal and Shea Butter work awesome and don't leave a greasy feeling on your skin, but if you use this on tile flooring you will end up slipping. I have held the bottle far away, as far as the instructions say, and closer than what the instructions tell you, all with the same outcome of spray going into the air around my legs and on to the floor. I love the idea of these lotions, but because of the floor getting this product on it no matter what, I have used the old fashioned way since testing this product. -

I have mixed feelings about this scrub. On the one hand it is easy to use and apply, smells great, and has a good texture, but the downfall is how dry it makes my face after use. Having used oil free cleansers that clean efficiently AND leave my face fresh and smooth, I will have to give this product a 3 out of 5. -

First of all, I love the color. What is contained in the tube of lipstick is the exact color that goes on my lips, there is nothing lost in translation or applying. I also like that it ends up drying into a less sticky and parched matte, even though it's not a matte. I believe it is worth the price especially since it's so vibrant and you don't need to do multiple applications to get the desired color. BUT, I would not wear this on a hot, humid, summer day without some matte powder, because it tends to bleed a bit and by the end of a humid night the outer lining of my lips looks like I've drank about 5 glasses of red wine. Other than that small detail, this remains a must have for me. -

This is my absolute favourite vodka, specifically for it's very smooth taste. It is crisp, clean, and you can drink shots of this straight. It tastes mild and crisp with sprite or 7 Up; Double Goose 7 is my favourite vodka drink. Grey Goose vodka is more expensive than other vodkas, but it's because you are paying for a high quality, smooth vodka. Hands down, my favourite vodka. -
